Wash Your Hands!

Of course we know that washing our hands is important... especially in the fall when the flu bug is all over.

Last week in microbio lab we did a lab where we would run our hands across agar in a petri dish.. the first time without washing them and then the second time with our hands being washed. Take a look at what grew

on the left is without washing and the right is after washing.... even after scrubbing for 30 seconds,  microbes still were able to grow!

Moral of the story, wash your hands.... always.
